At a Glance

  • 280 watts: steady drying power from a standard 120V outlet
  • 5 round trays: 9.25 in across, BPA-free, with room for a full batch
  • 104°F to 158°F: adjustable thermostat from gentle herbs to meat
  • 9.92 in wide: a compact footprint for a counter or pantry shelf
  • Hand wash trays: removable trays rinse clean in the sink

A bag of ripe bananas, a pound of lean beef, or a bunch of garden herbs can all become shelf-ready snacks with this Commercial Chef dehydrator. Five round trays stack over a 280 watt base, and the adjustable thermostat runs from 104°F to 158°F so soft herbs and firm meat each dry at a sensible temperature. The footprint is small enough to live in a pantry between batches, and the trays lift off for easy cleaning.

Key Features

  • 280 watt heating base: a 120V, 60 Hz base drives steady, even drying across all five trays.
  • Five round trays: each tray is 9.25 inches across and BPA-free, so one load covers jerky strips, apple rings, or a full harvest of herbs.
  • Adjustable thermostat: dial in anything from 104°F to 158°F to match the food, such as 135°F for fruit and 125°F for vegetables.
  • Adjustable tray spacing: the tray tabs set a 0.6 inch or 1.1 inch gap, so thicker slices and thinner pieces both fit.
  • Air-flow drying design: a center opening moves warm air up through the stack, and the lid stays on while it works.
  • Compact footprint: 9.92 inches wide, 9.43 inches deep, and 7.01 inches tall, easy to tuck away when the batch is done.
  • Meat, fruit, vegetable, and herb ready: one machine covers jerky, fruit rollups, veggie chips, and dried herbs.

What's Included

In the box: the 280W dehydrator base, five trays, the lid, and the instruction manual.

Before You Buy

  • Hand wash only. Wash the trays and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse, and air dry. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and never immerse it in water.
  • It dehydrates only; it is not a freeze dryer. The thermostat tops out at 158°F, so expect chewy jerky, crisp chips, and dried herbs, not freeze-dried results.
  • There is no auto-off. You switch the dehydrator off yourself when the food is done, so set a phone alarm for longer batches.
  • Five trays, 9.25 inches each. Cut food to fit a round tray and keep pieces in a single layer without stacking for even drying.

Perfect For

  • Making beef or turkey jerky from your own marinade
  • Drying banana chips, apple rings, and fruit rollups for lunchboxes
  • Preserving garden herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme
  • Turning extra vegetables into crunchy snack chips
  • Small kitchens that need a compact appliance

Care & Use

  • Run the empty dehydrator for at least 4 hours before first use and after cleaning.
  • Unplug it before cleaning, and wipe the base with a damp cloth.
  • Lay food flat in a single layer and keep the lid on while it dries.
  • Let dried food cool, then store it in airtight containers in a cool, dark, dry place.

Why dry your own food at home

Snacks made your way

Marinate your own jerky, slice fruit as thin as you like, and skip the added sugar and long ingredient lists. Five trays give you room to run a few different snacks in a single batch.

The right heat for each food

The adjustable thermostat runs from 104°F to 158°F, so delicate herbs and thick meat strips are not forced onto one setting. Fruit dries nicely near 135°F and vegetables near 125°F.

Small enough to keep around

At 9.92 inches wide and 7.01 inches tall, the dehydrator fits on a pantry shelf or in a cabinet between batches. Removable trays rinse in the sink, so cleanup stays quick and simple.

Compact dehydrator, real capacity

Five trays and a wide heat range in a pantry-sized footprint.

How does a dehydrator compare?

vs. drying food in the oven

Most ovens do not hold a steady low temperature and tie up your cooking space for hours. A dehydrator runs at 104°F to 158°F on its own and leaves the oven free.

vs. buying packaged jerky and dried fruit

Store-bought snacks cost more per ounce and rarely let you pick the marinade or the slice. Drying at home puts you in charge of both.

vs. a freeze dryer

A freeze dryer is a far larger and costlier machine. This dehydrator is a compact, plug-in way to make jerky, fruit chips, and herbs.

Fits your counter

FAQs

Common questions that customers ask

Can this dehydrator make beef jerky?

Yes. It dries meats such as beef, turkey, and chicken as well as fruit, vegetables, and herbs. Slice meat evenly, lay it flat on the trays, and set the thermostat toward the higher end of its 104°F to 158°F range.

Is this a freeze dryer?

No. It is a dehydrator only and has no freeze-drying feature. It dries food with warm air at 104°F to 158°F.

How long does drying take?

Fruit typically takes 4 to 16 hours and vegetables 3 to 10 hours. Time depends on the food, slice thickness, room humidity, and how full the trays are.

Can I put the trays in the dishwasher?

Hand wash only. Wash the trays and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse, and air dry, and wipe the base with a damp cloth.

How fast will it ship and can I return it?

Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.
